Dr. Rosalind Franklin, a brilliant young scientist, made a breakthrough discovery crucial to understanding DNA's structure. So why was the Nobel Prize awarded not to her but to male scientists whose research was based on her remarkable discovery?
Based on a true story that shook the scientific community, the play exposes the dark emotions behind the test tube and the microscope. Over sixty years have passed since the macho effort to exclude Dr. Franklin from Science's Hall of Fame. So why does this sound all too familiar to us even today?

With Hebrew subtitles - Reviews:"A great combination between the topic (pertinent today more than ever), and the actors, the writing, the translation, and the setting... a must-show, especially today." (Puenta)"One must praise Netta Garti's amazing acting abilities. The academic male arrogance displayed by Micha Selektar, Tom Avni, and the rest of the crew is also exceptional." (Kippa)
